What is the result of data analysis service do you think?
You may imagine an Excel sheet of genes with fold change or p-values, or a heatmap in a PDF file.
Yes, they are the output of so-called "data analysis."
However, how can you interpret them, or how can you measure the reliability of them?
You cannot because they are only a part of the information.

It is only a starting point.
The most challenging part of omics data analysis is interpreting them.
Omics data is so complicated that you need to examine it from multi-angles and –layers.
Due to its multifaceted nature, you can explain it differently from others.
It means it is easy to get a wrong conclusion.
Although you have to rightly understand the characteristics of data and the analysis steps to interpret correctly,
you cannot know about them from the limited information on Excel or PDF.

Only what you do is to send the raw data files, and we send back the SSA(Subio Series Archive) file.
You can import the file into Subio Platform to view not only the final result but also intermediate results.
You can see every step of normalization, pre-processing, filtering, statistical tests and multivariate analysis.
Moreover, we explain each of them to help your rightly understanding the data.

Free Online Support

On delivering the SSA file, we explain you the characteristics and limitation of the experimental data as showing how to visualize them on Subio Platform.
Moreover, we illustrate each analysis step which we chose according to the features.

You can request online supports whenever you need.
It is free, so it is efficient for you to ask when you encounter a question, rather than asking many questions at once.

You can do more with Plug-ins

Though a delivered SSA file contains analysis results, you can do it more with plug-ins.
You can arrange sample groups and apply analytical tools as modifying thresholds as you like.
The tedious preparation part is done, so you can immediately start exploratory data mining.

Plug-in set users can order Data Analysis Service and Online Training at 50% discount rate anytime for one year from the purchase date.
If you order a plug-in set with Data Analysis Service, we apply the discount right away.

About datasets and data types

We charge not per sample, but per dataset.
For example, we charge per Dataset (GDS) or Series (GSE) of Gene Expression Omnibus.
If a dataset contains less than 100 samples, we count it as one Small Dataset.
If the number exceeds 100, we count it as one Large Dataset.
Even if the number of samples is less than 100, we apply Large Dataset if the data rows are more than 100,000.

Though users usually order per dataset, you can order the service by giving a theme.
For example, "I want you to collect datasets of miRNA expression experiments measured by different technologies so that I can compare the performance of them," or "Please collect datasets of XX cancer."
In this case, please order "Datasets of a theme."
We charge for the working time per week, regardless of the number of datasets.

By the way, let me talk about data types for this service.
We basically can analyze any data which is composed of IDs and corresponding measurement values.

*1
Small Dataset: <100,000 rows and <100 samples. Datasets exceeding the criteria are counted as Large Dataset.

*2
We explain about the data and analysis steps in a web meeting.
But if you want to keep the information as a file, you can add this option.

*3
If the conditions of acceptance require physical goods and do not allow data, you can add this option.

*4
We usually deliver the results within two weeks, but the delivery date is not guaranteed.
If you need to specify the delivery date, please order "express option" as well.
We will deliver the results by 16:00 of the specified date.

4
Send a zip file.

5
Receive an SSA file.

We return a SSA or SOA file as a result.
You can see the contents by importing it into Subio Platform.
Please select "Import Archive..." under Platform menu to open the file.

6
Understand the analysis flow.

The service includes a web meeting to explain the characteristics of the data and analysis steps.
You can ask alternative or additional analysis within the meeting.
In such cases, we will re-analyze the data and send the result again.
We ask you to order another service for further requests.
